I’m trying to understand how the recent attacks on aid convoys are impacting actual food deliveries to the conflict zone. I keep reading that warehouses are full but people are still starving, and now with these security incidents, I’m wondering if the problem is less about the amount of aid and more about the final, dangerous mile of getting it distributed.

I was out near the trucks last month and the warehouses looked full, but the gates shut on and off all day. It felt like access and timing were the real blocks.

We loaded a convoy and then sat at a checkpoint for hours, fuel dwindling and people outside waiting with bowls that made your heart ache.

Maybe the real bottleneck is not stock but the last mile the aid has to run through contested streets and blocked routes.

If you want a grip on numbers there are delivery tallies and field notes, but they differ by group and region and the data can be messy. Is this really about the road danger or are there other bottlenecks at play?
